Half a year after the big bust, Joseph Cox is tooling around online, and he sees Hakan Ayik, now an international fugitive, behaving on the internet in an astonishingly brazen way.

Wait, he's an international fugitive, he's the most wanted person from Australia, and he's just saying, like, this donor kebab place rocks?

Is it risky behavior?

Yes.

But who among us has not had an especially good meal and felt like they just had to share their feelings with the internet?

Consequences be damned.

He was Australia's most wanted man, but tonight Hakan Ayik is behind bars in a Turkish prison.

Ayik, who's accused of running a global drug empire, was sensationally arrested in Istanbul, where he'd been hiding out since fleeing Sydney.

A Turkish police video of these raids included not just body cam footage, but also cinematic drone shots and Hollywood scoring.

You see the cops bang on Ayak's door, and then they're in his apartment.

He's on his knees, shirtless, hands cuffed behind his back, surrounded by masked Turkish cops.

They pick up 36 other Hasan Ayik associates, including Microsoft.

And so what is the fallout from all of this?

What in the world after this operation has happened, has been revealed, what is the world we are now living in?

Well, the drug trade continues.

Remember, this had been one of the FBI's goals, to delegitimize the encrypted phones made specifically for criminals as a piece of technology.

To shut down not just one tech company, but an entire category of technology itself.

The way Google Glass killed iGlass computers for a decade, or the way that crashing flying cars set those vehicles back for quite some time.

And in this, law enforcement was successful.

But Joseph says that success has created a new problem.
